Rik- I'm fortunate in that I'm usually very good at cross eyed stereo fusion without aids. I do find these two stereo pairs particularly easy and satisfying to fuse. As an aside I have a number of other injected and corroded slides, both the 'Hett style' and the 'Topping style' . They do make very i...

Thanks Pau, Gary and Rik. Rik - This subject seems to be particularly amenable to good stereo rendering. I'm going to shamelessly repost a stereo image from the end of my previous thread, which shows the same subject imaged with a X4 objective. A stack of 14 images with PMax, field width about 2mm. ...

Section of skin injected and corroded
A Victorian version of 'plastination' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastination Leitz X6.3 plan fluorite objective. Stack of 11 images with Zerene PMax. Diffused incident illumination. For more details on the slide, the technique and the subject you'll need to read this thread. http://www.photomacr...

One thing that's apparent from that last image is that there are blood vessels much larger than capillaries lurking near the skin surface. This immediately gives a big clue as to why fairly superficial cuts can bleed so much. Something else interesting can be seen if you compare this image with the ...

Thanks Rik, there are images to come which I think are a lot more dramatic. :lol: This Hinton slide is worth another look at a bit higher magnification. The next image was taken with a Leitz plan fluorite X6.3 objective, same illumination technique. It is a stack of 21mages with Zerene PMax. Field w...

Thanks Troels and Jacek. Troels, I can definitely promise you more things you will never have seen before. :D Same Hinton slide, same illumination, but higher magnification. Leitz X4 Planapo objective, 42 images stacked with Zerene PMax. Field width about 1.5mm. The more I look at this slide and ima...

Field width for the third image, which I should have mentioned is skin from the palm of the hand, about 4mm. Field width of the last image about 2.7mm...

After that little piece of whimsy, we should take a look at some of the slides that might have featured in the imaginary soirée. This thread is about blood and the microscopic capillaries and small vessels that do the work of conveying it to satisfy the oxygen demands of the tissues. Have you ever w...

To get us in the mood for this slightly macabre thread, perhaps we should set the scene. Let us imagine ourselves in Victorian London, to be precise 221B Baker Street, in rooms lately taken by Afghan war veteran Dr John Watson and his new acquaintance, the somewhat eccentric 'scientific consulting d...

A Study in Scarlet aka There Will be Blood - images added
I have always been a great admirer of Victorian slide mounters. They really did extraordinary work, whether it was arranging diatoms and butterfly scales or making beautiful mounts of plant sections and insects still showing remarkable detail 150 years later. This was all achieved with apparatus tha...
